The Smile by Doug Hyde

One of very earliest Doug Hyde Bronze - Collection releases and there was some debate about the sculpture's correct name, as so much time has passed!

In some circles known as 'The Big Smile' and in others simply 'The Smile,' it reappeared again in 2018 in mini form, as part of the 'The Box Of Love - Box Set' - a real treasure chest of...

....Doug Hyde collectables!

With his exaggerated head and a smile to match, the whiteness of the character really stands out against the blackness of his background.

This is a fairly simple yet effective image and portrays the much loved character of Hyde's imagination at his cheekiest.

With an overly large grin, the sweetness of his nature is exposed to the viewer and this is a character in which has proved hugely popular among Hyde collectors, making for an...

...excellent Limited Edition.

A new concept for Doug Hyde, are these stunning 'objet d'art' wall mounted sculptures. Taking one of his most popular early images: 'The Smile' (also known as 'Big Smile'). Doug has transformed it into a real life 3D sculpture to go onto the wall and be admired.

This needs to be seen in person to fully appreciate how loveable it is, as it provides a 3D 'I want to touch it' effect when seen.

It's great to see Doug experimenting on new mediums with his art and the feedback has been fantastic, with many collectors looking to own the whole Doug Hyde Objet D'Art series.

A lovely new way to admire Doug Hyde's world.

These updated versions do not come with the black frame, they come inside a clear perspex box for wall mounting.
